Thompsons of Prudhoe Quarry visit with school students

Thorp Academy students have ‘exhilarating’ site visit at our Bishop Middleham Quarry!

In collaboration with NE1 CAN, we hosted a visit with Thorp Academy, Ryton, at our Bishop Middleham Quarry as part of their construction course.

With 20% of their qualification focused on extraction, our quarry provided the perfect learning environment.

After a comprehensive site induction, students learned about the history of Thompsons, heard first-hand experiences from our quarry manager, supervisors, sales representatives, and operatives, and toured the site’s machinery.

The highlight of the day was an exhilarating off-road jeep tour down 40 metres into the heart of the extraction zone—an experience the students said was unforgettable!

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this visit such a success. Thorp Academy described it as an “amazing career experience” for all!
